Here are the specs off the box:

01 Revolutionary Patented Rotor Technology
The ROTOR LOADER far exceeds pro level feed requirements with an impressive 50+ balls per second feed rate. The constant feed rotor carousel combined with the opposing rotation of the center rotor arm provides smooth, consistent, rapid and dependable feed performance shot after shot. This new technological design provides unmatched performance over any other loader on the market

02 LOW PROFILE
Designed with the professional player in mind, the unique center feed design of the Rotor pushes balls straight down over a short distance allowing the loader size and shape to be small and low profile.

03 200 BALL CAPACITY
Play longer without reloading. The ROTOR holds up to 20% more paint than most loaders, while having the lowest profile. Additionally, the ROTOR is also the lightest 200 round loader available. Simply smaller, lighter and faster.

04 SPRING LOADED FLOOR TRAY
The patent pending revolutionary collapsing floor tray allows for maximum ball capacity, while ensuring constant, reliable feeding down to the last ball. The spring floor tray also ensures ball feeding while shooting at elevated targets by raising the floor as you shoot.

05 NO TOOLS NEEDED
The ROTOR can be effortlessly broken down for basic cleaning or maintenance with the push of a button. No tiny screws and nuts to loosen, parts to lose or break off. Just smart and simple engineering with the player's needs in mind.

06 SEE THROUGH WINDOW
Provides you the ability to monitor your paint level visually so you don't get caught without paint. Windows available in different colors (sold separately).

07 INTERCHANGEABLE CARRIER WITH SPRING LID
The transparent locking lid is integrated into an interchangeable dual density carrier. The spring tension lid allows fast loading and secure lock on the loader. The carrier design allows you to quickly change between your lid or speed feed. Additionally the removable upper shell allows you to use a high capacity upper shell that will hold 250 rounds (sold separately).

08 POSITIVE PUSH POWER BUTTON
Single push Power On/Off button with an LED display. The positive push button and bright LED informs you when your loader is on or off.

09 JAM RELEASE TRIGGER
In the rare event of a ball jam caused by an oversized or out of round paint, simply give the jam release trigger a quick pull and you are back in action.

10 SHOT COUNT
The ROTOR provides an impressive 50,000+ ball shot count on one set of three AA batteries. This new design of efficient power regulation is revolutionary and the first of its kind in loader technology.

Retail price: $150.00

The Dye DYE ROTOR is newer, so it should be commonly available, both new and used.

After having many difficulties using the halo B i decided that it was time to get a new hopper. I used my friends Rotor at Vicious tactics and immediately fell in love with it. it was unlike any hopper i have every used before. it was then and there where i realized that i HAD to go get one. il go more in detail about each subject.

Speed
By far one of the fastest hoppers every to grace the sport of paintaball. I did a free fall test with a full pod of paint, the whole thing was empty within around 4-5 seconds no joke. On the field it feeds as fast as ur gun can shoot. Providing a very consistant feed i had no jams all day.

Design
unlike my halo B which would always b a pain in the ass to take apart and clean i can disassemble my rotor in about 5 seconds. No tools are required as taking it apart is just as easy as putting it back together. While it doesnt have the fancy boards that my old halo had it works just as well. its a very straight forward hopper, you put to paint in, press the button and presto, nothing else is required of you. Another aspect that i loved was the anti-jam lever. instead of a rip drive or other painful ways to unjam your hopper dye offers a simple lever that you pull back. when the lever is pulled back the state of the art cone inside will re-scoop the ball and recycle it with the rest of your balls. it seems like dye always finds ways to make baller's lives easier.

Other
i have heard that the rotor can be a little bit rough on paint because of the furious feeding speed but i never encountered any problems. the scooping mechanism inside and hopper seems to slide the paint in instead of hitting it in giving it a softer feel. this could vary for each person but seeing how i never encountered this problem i can not say much. if it is breaking paint try to adjust the speed inside the rotor.

Conclusion:

Over this is by far the best hopper i have ever used and the 150 dollar price tag was well worth it. this is a sure buy and it will not let you down. easy and simple to use this hopper will bang right out of the box. possibly one of the best investments that i have ever made. i will edit my review if anything changes in the future. forget about emire, halo, pulse or all that other crap. Dye is the way to go

This hopper is amazing! I have used my Triumph on my Redz Ion and it keeps up quite well. But for the tournament I just went to I wanted something a bit more high end. My friends lent me his white rotor for the tourny and it is so wicked!!

Strengths--

This hopper is super fast, im not sure if it can get over 50 bps but its faster then what anyone could ever need

This thing has got killer looks, best looking hopper out there

Has no eyes which makes it very reliable and always feeds consistently

The no tools disassembly is sooo easy. You better believe it when they say you can pull it apart in under 20 seconds. This makes it very easy to maintain and clean.

Sits low on most markers and presents quite a low profile

You can jam your finger in the actual carousel and there is virtually no pressure on your finger.

Battery life is top level as well, still got the originals from it when I first started using it. Ive had about 3 cases of paint through it.

The only problem for me is that it cost a bit of money in New Zealand to buy one brand new =(

Conclusion:

This is the end all hopper. Its got everything you could ever want in a hopper. At the tourny i went to recently, about 85% of people there had a rotor.

Ivehad the rottor for about 3 months now and ive played least 10 times since i got it.
I did not want to write this review after just one time of using it.
All i can say is that this is my favorite loader out of the ones ive tried.
What i love the most about it, is how simple it is to operate, the reliability of it and the looks.
I have not had a single jam no matter how fast i was shooting. Ive been using mainly PMI premium paint.
I love the fact that you just Push the On button once and you are good to go all day.
The battery life is exelent. I still have the original 3 batteries i put in when i first got it.
Oh did i mention how easy is to take apart.
It will hold 195 paintballs when on the gun. I actualy counted them.
Some people say the mouth opening is small. Well, using calipers i measured the opening on my Realoder B and the Rottor. They are exactly the same.

Conclusion:

I highly recomend this loader if you have the money. There are other loaders that will work just fine for less money, but if you want all the things that i mentioned above then get one.
I will give it a 9. Im still waiting for the loader that loads itself.

I bought this hopper when it first came out thinking that is was made by Dye so it had to be an excelent product. Well I found that I didn't feel it was excelent, not terrible either. For the most part it worked up to my expectations. Until I was at an event and all they were selling was Polar Ice paintballs by RPS, I assume they were only selling this because of a the amount they had left over from winter and spring was apon us. I was going to use my Invert Mini and with the Dye Rotor I was only able to shoot the ball stack before I had to shake the hopper or pull the trigger. So I put the Rotor on my TCP Extreme and it shot just fine. Well that only happened for about half of the day until is started to act up feeding. Now I was thinking it was my batteries, so I changed them, with no change in performance. I used the Rotor before and after this event. Other paints I have used and had to ill effects were Formula 13 by Diablo, White Box and Premium by RPS, and Ramp by Empire. Living in the Norther Lower Penninsula of Michigan I have to know I can shoot whatever paint I can whenever I want. With the Rotor I don't have that security.

All in all it is a good hopper, it just isn't for me.

Conclusion:

If you live in a warmer climate then I do or don't need to shoot a ball with a hard shell this hopper will be great for you. If you do have to shoot paint with a harder shell or even reballs I would try another hopper before this one.

Cleaning interior is easy, but time-consuming
Last few rounds may not feed

Review:

Out of the box: looks good, and doesn't require any adjustment.

Positives:
In my drop test, I got a 42bps feed rate, which isn't the advertised 50+, but still much better than my VLocity or a Halo. I like the low profile; how it rides so low on the marker. It is lightweight, but very sturdy: it was still intact when it fell off of my marker (read my Proto Rail review), even though one or two balls broke inside upon impact. At this point the tool-less take-down really came in handy; I had the whole thing apart in less than 10 seconds. I like that it uses 3 AA batteries, and I can use rechargeable, which are still cheaper than a single 9v. Although I haven't had any jams, I like the anti-jam trigger underneath the hopper shell, which will "back up" the feed mechanism, clearing the jam. The lid clamps down very easily, but holds securely (until dropped from 3+ feet; my bad).

Negatives:
The only thing I didn't like about the Rotor is the time that it takes to clean out a break. Although it took less than 10 seconds to take out all the moving parts, it took me several minutes to clean them due to all of the small nooks and crannies on the the feed mechanism. Whenever I had fewer than about 10 rounds left, the last few were prone to "popcorning," due to the high speed of the feed mechanism, but I've had this happen with all agitated hoppers.

Conclusion:

The fastest and most user-friendly loader on the market today; worth the cost. I would definitely recommend spending the extra dough to get one of these.

This hopper is great and brings me alot of joy! The Dye Rotor also spares you alot of money on batteries!!! It has a constant flow of 30pbs, cant test higher because my gun doesnt shoot faster than 30pbs lol. It is very easy to maintain and clean, also very easy to install a quick feed. It can be taken apart in just a few seconds. The Windows on the Dye Rotor doesnt realy help to see into the hopper, but it does make it look very stream lined and Attractive.

I count the amount of paintballs that the Dye Rotor can take it is 193 paintballs

Conclusion:

I think the Dye Rotor is one of the best high class hoppers on the market today! I recommend it to anyone. I know its very pricy but i think it is worth it!
If i have any problems i will let you people know through the review. (going to use it until next December or even longer.

I've used a lot of different loaders and the Dye Rotor is the best so far. The designers at Dye really did their homework when developing the Rotor. Loaders up until now have been vertical split shells held together with glue, screws, or bolts. The Rotor's horizontal split shell requires no tools to disassemble it, so cleaning broken paint is fast and easy. I was sold on the Rotor mainly due to its easy to clean design. The shell also appears to be made of a non-brittle plastic that flexes upon impact instead of cracking. There are no eyes, vibration/sound sensor, or flex switch to activate the loader. It just keeps a constant force on the paintballs. The on/off button is easy to use, durable, and big, but its blue light can be difficult to see in sunlight. The small windows make it hard to tell when you're almost out of paint, so I recommend getting the large capacity shell. Since it's new, the Rotor still commands a premium price. When other loaders got cheaper because of the Rotor's popularity I made the mistake of getting a Reloader B. A couple games later I went back and got the Rotor. Dye claims 50 bps and 50,000 shots (uses 3 AA batteries). I can't verify or dispute their claims, but even half of those numbers is faster than I can shoot and will save me money in batteries.

Conclusion:

If you've ever had to sit out a game to clean out a loader, or lost a screw, or stripped plastic threads, or gotten a cracked shell, or had a loader die in the middle of a game, then get the Dye Rotor.

Review:

There's nothing that I can say that hasn't been already said. I love this thing. I'm using it with my SP8 now, but I'm unloading so fast I'm out of pods in a few minutes... but I bought it because I'm going for the DLX Luxe.

I have a Halo B and Empire Reloader and was going to use them as back-ups... but I doubt I will need them. The Rotor has performed better than I imagined.

It feeds extremely fast and quiet. It has a low profile. It has one button to turn it on and off... it's just that simple. You can also buy different colors pieces to change it up. I bought the red, but changed it to mostly yellow with red smaller pieces (Going to match a DLX Luxe I'm saving for).

I also got the larger top for it, since I'm usually a backup player... it gives it a stranger profile, but still okay.

This is much a con, but it's also something very unlikely to happen a lot. One of the guys on the other team has a Rotor and was tipping his marker downward. Someone somehow shot him right through the speed load fingers... lol. It was amazing. On the bight side, he was able to clean it out within a few minutes.

Conclusion:

Great item. People complain about price, but its worth it for how fast and simple it is. It's pretty sturdy too. Also a lot of color options.

Loses one point for me because I had to tighten up the feedneck a lot.

I have had my Dye rotor for about three weeks and have used it for the last three weekends. At this point the quality of this loader is very very good. The big thing everyone has been discussing on this loader is the fact that it is so quick and easy to take apart and clean which is absolutely true. It's set up to where really anyone with common sense can take it apart and put it back together without a problem. But my favorite feature that this loader has is definitely the consistency that you get. So far I haven't tested the speed of the loader by cranking my gun up to 33 bps, but I can attest that up to 20 this loader is right on key without missing a beat. Very impressive. Dye has really put a lot of engineering into the Rotor and that's pretty obvious once you give it a try. On the field, the Rotor doesn't sit too high on the gun like my Evo III did. Running with it is very comfortable and it's nice to know that if I have a ball break inside I can pretty much take it apart during the game and I'm back in business. The only gripe I have is that the loader doesn't seem to hold the advertised 200 paintballs, but these days no loader really does.

Conclusion:

All in all an exellent loader. The price is defiitely high, but I don't think you will regret the money spent on the Rotor. Another great product from Dye.
